Modern business networks are used for increasingly diverse applications – traditional data streams, VoIP voice traffic, video output from digital security cameras and remote control devices to name a few. The range of devices attached to today’s converged network often need to be supported not just in terms of data –equipment such as VoIP IP telephones and Wireless Access Points frequently need to be powered in physical locations where mains power is not available or difficult to deliver. Providing power to such devices via an Ethernet UTP cable is an elegant and easy to implement solution.
The model is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Ethernet PoE switch designed to enhance workgroup performance while providing a high level of flexibility. It provides 16 10/100Mbps ports and 16 IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports for workstation, plus 2 copper Gigabit ports and 2 Gigabit SFP ports for workgroup and departments.The model is a Power Source Equipment (PSE) and fully compatible with Powered Devices (PD) that comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.
The model enables users to attach IEEE802.3af compliant devices such as wireless Access Points (APS), VOIP phone, IP camera, printer and Network Attached Storage (NAS) directly to the 16 -ports 10/100 Ethernet PoE Switch plus 2 copper Gigabit ports and 2 Gigabit SFP ports without requiring additional power on the network. The unit is designed for home and small business users in mind and is ideal for installations where AC power is not available or no cost-effective.
